See the latest Guinness World Records virtually exploding off the page with the new Augmented Reality app!Readers of this year's Guinness World Records 2013 edition can access a new dimension of record-breaking with this FREE "augmented reality" (AR) app. If you've got the book, download this AR viewer now to see record holders come to life as stunning 3D animations.What you'll see:• Encounter the great white shark – the world's largest predatory fish – without risking life and limb! • Say hello to the new world's shortest man – and the shortest man EVER measured – in actual size • Meet the parrot who can perform the most slam dunks in a minute (yes, really!) • Go for a spin in the world's smallest helicopter • Get up close and personal with the Goliath bird-eating spider – a creepy-crawly the size of a dinner plate • Have fun with the world's smallest dog – a pooch that can fit in the palm of your handMove your device around the animation to see an entire 360- degree view. And look out for interactive animations that respond to your touch – just tap the screen and see Zac the parrot slam dunk a ball; guide the GEN H-4 helicopter across the sky with your fingertips; lead Heaven Sent Brandy on her walkies; and irritate the 11-in-wide bird-eating spider until it hisses at you.What's more, you can even grab a snapshot of yourself alongside the record holders – almost as if they're sitting right beside you."This is a unique opportunity to witness the most amazing record holders right before your very eyes," says Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday. "I had to travel to Kathmandu to meet Mr Dangi, the world's shortest man – now, anyone can have their photo next to him without leaving their armchair!"How it works:To activate the 3D animations, look out for the SEE IT 3D logo in the pages of the Guinness World Records 2013 book. When you see the logo, launch the app, point your device's camera at the book spread and watch as the record-holder comes to life.This FREE app is available to anyone with a compatible Android device with a camera.
